Physician’s Prescription to Increase The Health and Strength of Anaemic, Run- down Men and Women As a result of the tremendous strain. which the war has put® upon so many people, the nerve cells ‘have become devitalized, the whole system weakened and thousands of men and ‘women are today losing their . grip on health simply because their blood is thinning out and possibly starving through lack of iron. It is through iron in-the red coloring matter of the blood that life sustaining oxygen enters the body an_d enables the blood.to change food into living tissue muscle and brain. If people would only keep their blood filled with strength-giving iron by taking Nuxated Iron when they feel weak and rum-down they might readily build up their .red blood ‘corpuscles and quickly become stronger .and healthier .in’ every way. If you are not strong or well you owe it tos ‘yourself to make the following. test: See.how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your stréngth again-and sce how much you have gained. Nuxated Iron will increase the strength of: weak, nervous, “run-down” men and women in two weeks’ time in many instances. The manufacturers guarantee successful and entirely satisfactory results to every purchaser-or they will refund your money. Nuxated Iron is on sale at all good druggists. 7S Pure Bred---RED POLLED CATTLE ' Pounder ' Harrows Do ! = T i Have a few choice bulls for sale, sired ' RI[L N | ontwork and Oytwear Stock, Ask : || by Nestor No. 27070, of advanced registry i1, | ) T "%hm Loy breeding. e e bttt d | || Herd tuberculin tested by the state. - Write Q.

B. FUSSELL ELENA, capital of Mon- tana, is quite a different sort of a place from Bis- marck, capital of North Dakota. The crowds are the first things that a person notices. twice the hotel accommodations of Bismarck—and it is next to impos- gible to get a room. I was shown a list of 20 at one hotel, waiting for a chance to sleep on cots in the hall- way. Most of these visitors are lob- byists. At the capitol a visitor is struck with the number of good-looking girls and women. Montana is in- clined to boast of the beauty of its women, and some of the best must have been sent to Helena to be com- mittee clerks and stenographers. There are so many in the halls that they fairly run over each other. One house member demanded an investi- gation, declaring there was more than - one employe for every member of the house. The committee on employment submitted a list, covering only com- mittee clerks -and stenographers, car- rying nearly 50 names. In the North Dakota house, which has more mem- bers than that of Montana, there are only 32 employes, this list including pages, doorkeepers, sergeant-at-arms, chaplain, chief clerk, .etc., besides the committee clerks and stenographers. The advance appropriation for the Montana legislature twice the estimated cost of the North Dakota session. DIFFERENT FROM 2| - NORTH DAKOTA There are other differences. I was There was only a short session on Friday, i then both houses agreed to adjourn till 2 o’clock the next Monday after- noon. sions are the.invariable rule. Perhaps one reason for these dif- ferences is the fact that there is a ‘delegation of only 18 League farmers at Helena, two - in the senate and 16 in the house, as compared with the 100-odd Leaguers at Bismarck. But for a remarkable series of con- ditions the League delegation " at Helena would have been considerably - larger. First was the flu epidemic, preventing farmers’ campaign meet- ings for weeks before the election. Next, on election day, came the sever- est November storm for 20 years. The country vote was cut down -sharply, though the city and town vote was not seriously affected. Finally, there were election frauds. The statement that election frauds had been committed would cause a sensation in the average state. In Montana it hardly raises a ripple of excitement. It is taken as a matter of course. VICIOUS VOTE FRAUDS The League suffered in a number of' counties under peculiar circumstances. In one county the League candi- date- for senator was ahead, with re- turns in from every precinct but one. This precinct was six days late. When it- came in there was not a vote for the League senator, though other League candidates received ' votes. There were enough votes in this pre- cinet for the opponent to the League man to put him over. In other coun- ties pollbooks were taken around to persons who had not voted, but Non- partisan league members who asked a.chance to vote under these condi- tions were denied. - However, these were comparatively small matters as against the wholesale frauds practiced in the city of Butte. - LA PAGEFFWELVE " . 7 Helena has probably - is more than - At Bismarck Saturday ses-. According to a bill of particulag-s submitted by Attorney W. D. Rankin to the house elections committee, over 1,500 cases of illegal voting have been uncovered in Silver Bow county, prin- cipally Butte cases. i In precinct after precinct doz- ens of men sought by authorities as draft evaders are recorded as voting in person. Men dead as long as 12 years, men who were known to have been killed in mine accidents, soldiers who had been .in France for a year, are record- ed as having voted. Men and women who could not write their names when they registered, wrote their signatyres in flowing hands on election day, if the rec- ords are to be believed. Dozens sick in bed with the flu are re-* corded as voting; men and women are recorded as voting with their residences listed as vacant city lots. One man, who lived next door to- the polling place, went to vote and found that somecne else had already voted in his name. He got no redress. This evidence was laid before the house elections committee. The com- mittee paid it scant attention. It de- cided that it would not take up the case, because it might be too expen- sive, and told the contestants to take up the matter, if they wanted to, in the district court. In other words, the idea of the com- mittee seems to be this: “It is of no concern to the state of Montana whether elections are held fairly or not—that is a matter only between the two sets of candidates. If the candidates who have been cheated have the money to carry the case through the district court (the Silver Bow case probably will cost $5,000), well and good. If not, they are sim- ply out of luck. The state should worry.” PUBLIC CONSCIENCE HARDENED The hardened state of the Montana public conscience, if this conscience is reflected truly by the politicians of Montana; is a stunning thing to a visitor to the state. ; Recently a new federal district at- terney was appointed in Montana to succeed ‘B. K. Wheeler, a liberal who was hounded out of office by copper company interests. E. C. Day was recommended for this office. Mr. Day was a member of the notorious Montana legislature of 1899, which was “beught up” to elect W. A. Clark United States senator. The wholesale purchase of the legislature was 'so raw a deal that the United States sen- ate refused to seat Clark. In the United States senate in- vestigation Mr. Day admitted get- ting $5,000 of the Clark money immediately after adjournment of the legislature that elected Clark. Mr. Davidson, Senator Clark’s campaign manager, presented it, Mr. Day said, “as a testimonial of Mr. Clark’s appreciation of my services, and I received it as such.” The fact that Mr. Day had re- ceived Clark money in the elec- tion contest was made known to Montana, not through the news- papers, which would not mention such a thing, ‘but by a circular put out by a private citizen. It hardly raised a ripple of interest. United States Senator Walsh fndorsed Mr. Day, saying in de- ing so: : “Aggressively ‘independent, he has -that strict impartiality so es--
